Mein Thumbcraft—IdleT Dedicated Minecraft Server

[MrHoatzin]

Hello. This thread is now the relevant minecraft server info thread.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

Server address: game.idlemc.com

Much info about the server can be found at http://www.idlemc.com (Currently out of date, will be updated now that the server is back)

If you log in and your name is grayed out, that means you do not yet have the building credentials. If you wish to build in the server, please send tabacco a PM on the forums and ask.

Don't be a dick.

Map of the server will live here.

We're currently in the SEVENTH EPOCH of the Thumb. The frontier is a dangerous place, but we will persevere.

Past epochs can be downloaded from http://www.idlemc.com/past-epochs/

K. I think I am done with KINGZJESTERLAND Nature's #1 Wonder. Go check it out guys! Take the grassy path from spawn, or take a boat and follow the path through the IDLE sign etc. I suggest going through the museum first.

[miffy495]

That postcard... It is the most beautiful thing...

[Amobius]

started the destructive fun a little early with my own place.

[Thompson]

I'll be in Japan during the reset, I have but one request.

Anyone who wants to destroy the 'IDLE' sign must record it's destruction for us all (mostly me) to revel in. Rest assured, when I return I shall rebuild it, better than ever!

[Nachimir]

A lot of what I built is obsidian. Suppose I could at least blow the glass out and set the tree on fire

[MrHoatzin]

There will be plenty of TNT handed out to raze all that stuff to hell, trust me.

[elmuerte]

blowing up the moai would be an interesting spectacle

[MrHoatzin]

If we can schedule something up ahead of time, I can fire up some sort of screen capture thinger and record the destructions from way outside.

Also, the redstone fuse makes the explosion not explode all that satisfyingly. There is no boom and it basically all happens server-side. For best results, punch the TNT and make a "fuse" out of TNT blocks.

[Erwin_Br]

Please announce a time so everybody who wants to join can be there right on time for the fireworks.

[elmuerte]

Only the person that sets off the TNT will really see the fireworks, that's why redstone triggered TNT doesn't show anything cool

The only thing you see when somebody else sets of TNT is a sudden hole. It's a real shame.

Also, after a given distance you will also no longer notice the explosions.

[F4T C4T]

Just been in to check it out. So much awesome stuff! I listened to my own breathing in the meditation chamber, visited Patter's Island fortress then got stuck at the bottom of a whirl pool. After swimming a long way up to escape I climbed one of Patter's towers and traversed the great glass skyway. After apreciating the ancient wizards idol I dropped in to Kingzjesterland but ran into a bit of trouble when I got stuck in the underground grotto. I fell into a watery hole I couldn't jump out of. As I didn't have digging powers I called it a night.

Wish I had more time to get into this right now. Shame it has to be restarted come Halloween!

[MrHoatzin]

Ok, since people are already destroying things, I've made a backup as of a couple of minutes ago. Grab it here. 7zip can open the tar.gz files, if you're having issues with other archive utilities. I dunno if the players folder is even necessary if you're gonna play it locally, but it is all in there.

[elmuerte]

crap...

accidentally set off the TNT in the moai, it was only halfway filled

also, it wasn't much of a blast for me, the game couldn't handle the fireworks so the screen was frozen for half a minute

I had a real "how to make infinite fire" experience :/

This is somehow more fun to read than it maybe should be.

hah, good idea. a whole week of ruination.

hahah! i had no idea there was stuff inside the moai! i like how the tnt blew its ass out and took out part of the thumb in the process

[jennoa]

Ok, so I may have turned my area into a smoldering crater. I also may have used fraps to record some of it.

There is a non-zero chance that accidently hitting dynamite, while you are in the middle of construction, will ruin your plans.

[jennoa]

This did not go as planned.

Hoatzin!!

The Empire State Building is gone!

Oh the Humanity!

[Chuckpebble]

This is amazing. Does anyone have any plans to make a platforming course?

Maybe I'll try and connect after the update.

[MrHoatzin]

Ah, goddamn, sorry Thompson, I meant to merely mine the Idle sign tonight and then record it asploding tomorrow at work, but then it accidentally exploded on me. I am not even sure when. I jumped off the sign into the water to move to another letter and lay more TNT, and when I looked up the thing said "DLE :tup:"

I was gonna do it at work because I have a host of screen capturing software there, however I also have one of those magic mice that scroll on a whim, and accidentally change from a stack of TNT to a pick, which is not good while laying explosives. So, tldr, someone else might as well record the demise of the DLE

This was pretty much the story of my adventures with TNT. Get a cool idea, start implementing it, hit the wrong button, and bomb, all gone.

[Nachimir]

Likewise, was wiring up the gravel pyramids, and had to pause the game. When I clicked on "Return to game", a TNT block was behind it and started flashing. Whoops.

Edit: Oops, also just blew out the floor of my tower while attempting to pack the tree with TNT.

[Nachimir]

Well, mistakes were made. There was also a weird server bug where it blew up, then everything reappeared (I guess the client played through something it shouldn't have before the server caught up). It was successfully blown up on the 4th attempt or so; video to follow

LOL! Sometimes I play on my track pad when I have a minute and my 3 button mouse is in another room. I thought it was bad when I accidentally placed cobblestone instead of gravel. That sir, quite frankly sucks.

EDIT:

On a side note, I'm still trying to decide whether its a blessing or a curse that this game is up and running in under a second, and just as quick and easy to save and quit. I use a launcher too. COMMAND-SPACE, M, ENTER. I sit down to do bills and 30 minutes later I haven't touched them because I'm laying track.

[a purple future]

yep, i screwed up blowing up Link too. i was filling his insides with tnt when it went off and blew off his bottom half. i was going to fraps it too. oh well.
